Daming heir

Chapter 214
"If the grandson has an order, I will swear to obey!"

In the tea room next to the book drying room of the Imperial Academy, Xie Jin stood up for the second time, bowed and cupped his fists in a deep voice.

Zhu Yunxi was not in a hurry, but asked a question first: "Brother Dashen, do you think it is appropriate for you and me to explain the details after Mr. Xiangshan today?"

With a small twist, Zhu Yunxi took the initiative to learn this great merit with his heart, and gave it to Xie Jin.

Xie Jin was shocked, this was the pillar of possibility for him to become a Confucian sage!
Xie Jinrong couldn't think about it, and nodded immediately: "To a conscience, to unite knowledge and action. You should be a scholar in the world, no! This theory is enough to educate all people in the world!"

The young Hanlin scholar categorically stated his attitude in an unquestionable tone.

Zhu Yunxi settled down in his heart, and looked at the steam that had spread in front of him.

He reached out and pulled up the boiling teapot, and began to brew the tea that Xie Jin had prepared by himself.

"Brother Dashen also thinks that the officials above the court have already achieved such a reason?"

Xie Jin's eyes moved slightly, and he knew in his heart that the grandson's coming to the Imperial Academy to find him today was definitely not just to tell him his gratitude for Xinxue, nor was it to make himself a Confucian sage.

Recalling the reforms that Zhejiang Road is implementing, and the Taisun has reprimanded the head of the Ministry of Industry in the past few days.

And recently, there have been signs of a struggle between the DPRK and China over the candidates for the chief examiner of this subject examination.

Xie Jin could easily guess that the grandson was dissatisfied with the current imperial examinations, and further dissatisfied with the code of conduct of officials in the DPRK and China.

He shook his head: "To a confidant, the unity of knowledge and action. There are very few people in the court who act like this. I am ashamed to say that I have awakened today. It is not necessary for me to achieve the unity of knowledge and action in the affairs of the world."

Zhu Yunxi nodded in approval and said, "Brother Dashen can understand this, and he has already surpassed many people in the court who have repeatedly done nothing. I just thought that since Brother Dashen has this insight today, it was only 25 years since the founding of the country. , why not spread the idea of ​​the unity of knowledge and action, only then can we really achieve the unity of knowledge and action, and the meritorious deeds of educating the people."

A sense of mission suddenly emerged from the bottom of Xie Jin's heart, and it continued to grow and expand.

He bowed and said: "I have been appreciated by my grandson. Now I have a feeling, and my mind has greatly increased. I must spread it and carry it forward. I don't let the bright pearl be cast secretly, and I don't let the dust fall."

After finishing speaking, Xie Jin was a bit guilty: "It's just that the minister is now walking in the Wenhua Palace and entering the palace to counsel the government. How can this kind of truth be spread to the world?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his hands, took a sip of the tea soup in the cup when it was no longer hot to the mouth, and then said slowly: "I intend to set up a bookstore to publish articles on the study of the mind every ten days, explaining the principle of the unity of knowledge and action, and distribute them through the post station. The whole world, spread among the people. It’s just that, now that I’m in charge of the government, it’s hard for me to take care of the affairs personally. If Brother Gentleman wants to, I can entrust this matter to my brother.”

The postal service was also originally responsible for delivering newspapers.

The reform of post stations in the Ming Dynasty has achieved initial results. At this time, it can be regarded as making the best use of everything, and it is justified.

It's just that he himself didn't expect that the transformation of the post station created last year would play so many roles in such a short period of time.

Xie Jin was emotional for a while, and felt unparalleled admiration in his heart.

He couldn't help admiring: "The Taisun entered the admonishment station to restructure, like a grassy snake line, stretching thousands of miles. The same reorganization, but it has all kinds of effects. The minister admires it!"

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "As long as we are here, Brother Dashen, don't talk about such nonsense. If Brother Dashen nods and agrees, I will entrust this matter to you."

Xie Jin immediately sat in front of the table, put his hands on the table, and stretched his neck: "It's not difficult to distribute the world through a post station and spread it among the people. It is also impossible to print only one article."

Zhu Yunxi had a draft for a long time.

Running a newspaper is the most powerful weapon and method in a certain period of time.

He said softly: "The bookstore and newspapers are located behind the Imperial Academy. I don't think the land under the city wall has been used so far. It is safe to build a bookstore."

Xie Jin nodded. Since he wanted to do this by himself, it was convenient for him to be closer to the Imperial Academy.

Moreover, if you have to write articles every ten days, it is impossible to talk about it empty-handed. You still have to read the predecessors’ articles in the library of the Imperial Academy, summarize and explain them, and then extend and develop them to introduce today’s idea of ​​the unity of knowledge and action.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi said again: "As for the articles on the newspapers, it is naturally impossible to explain the matter of the mind. It must be supplemented with folk allusions, interesting stories in the court, and gossips among officials, so as to attract more people's attention. and read."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi chuckled suddenly: "Even, the storybook can be continuously printed on the newspaper, and it is often cut off at the most important place to lure the readers of the newspaper to scratch their heads. I wish the next issue of the newspaper will be quick published and distributed."

Xie Jin couldn't help blinking his eyes: "I really never thought that the grandson had already made so many preparations and ideas for this matter."

"It's just a few ideas, and the shortcomings still need to be checked and supplemented by Da Gengxiong."

Xie Jin nodded: "We need to find more people who write articles with pens. There are many colleagues and students in the Imperial College and the Imperial Academy. You can pay for pens and inks. I invite them to write articles before publishing every ten days."

Zhu Yunxi looked with satisfaction at Xie Jin who had spontaneously started to propose constructions for the bookstore.

A qualified official needs subjective initiative.

In Zhu Yunxi's view, in many cases, he felt that after decades, the old Yan Ge, who had power over the government and the public, was to some extent far better than Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others who were dubbed loyal ministers. It is more in line with the identity and role of a courtier.

What Yan Song was thinking about was how to do well what the emperor had told him and how to maintain the situation of the court.

As for Xu Jie and those people, how much of their hearts belong to the emperor is not enough to tell outsiders.

He was quite clear that even Xu Jie was alone, and half of the land in his hometown of Songjiang Mansion belonged to Xu's family.

In this way, thinking from the perspective of the emperor, what is a loyal minister and what is a treacherous minister is often not necessarily evaluated from the perspective of ordinary people.

That's the simple ass problem.

At this moment, Xie Jin has been led by himself to move forward in psychology, and he has gone a long way. Under the premise that there are bookstores and newspapers that can spread his ideas for him, he can actively think about how to implement these things.

Although Zhu Yunxi believed that there was Xie Jin's selfishness in it, he didn't care as long as things could be done well.

At this time, Xie Jin had completely fallen into the imagination of spreading the new ideas of Xinxue to the entire Ming Dynasty.

He said in a deep voice: "It is best to hire a few people with outstanding writing skills who can always be in the position of the bookstore. I think that Mr. Fang Xiaoru of the Dabentang can be used as a person who expounds the origin and principles of the mind. I hold the pen Explain the principle of the unity of knowledge and action.”

"As for the gossip in the court and the rumors among the people, I thought I could ask the students of the Imperial College to hold pens. Firstly, the students of the Imperial College are more active and understand what is going on among the people; secondly, it is also for those students from poor families. Make up for some expenses."

Speaking of this, Xie Jin looked up at Zhu Yunxi, and whispered: "It's just building a bookstore, hiring an author, and publishing newspapers. I'm afraid it will cost a lot..."

Zhu Yunxie glared at Xie Jin: "We'll pay the money! We can't say in the future, we can still make a lot of money through newspapers!"

Advertising for others, the advertising fee is not a small income.

Now Daming has developed many large-scale merchants, and the industrial development of merchants, taking Zhejiang Road as an example, has a trend of centralization.

These people carry goods all over the world, and have begun to notice the importance of spreading the reputation of products.

Xie Jin was surprised and said, "Can you still make money?"

"Businessmen and merchants, who sell goods, always hope that they can sell more goods. At this time, we can help them make a name and know it among the common people."

Xie Jin couldn't react at this time, with a blank look on his face.

Zhu Yunxi stared at him quietly, and said softly: "Right now, what Brother Dashen should think about is that as long as the newspapers of the bookstore are published, the theory of the mind of Brother Dashen and today's principle of unity of knowledge and action will be promoted. It is bound to attract criticism and suppression from Confucian Neo-Confucianists.

At that time, it will be a big problem for the big gentleman to deal with the impeachment and accusations of these people. We can watch for you at the court, but it will be a big problem for Shilin. "

Zhu Yunxi did not aim at nothing, but justified what he said.

Although Mind Science and Neo Confucianism are both Confucian studies, they are naturally different and inherently opposed.

The dispute between Zhu and Lu in the Song Dynasty was the struggle between Xinxue and Neo Confucianism.

Obviously, at that time, a group of Xinxue disciples represented by Lu Jiuyuan lost in that battle, and Zhu Zixue thus achieved a comprehensive victory, which has continued until now.

The idea of ​​preserving the principles of nature and destroying human desires has also developed all the way to the present.

Just like the foot wraps on women's feet later, they were smelly and long, and firmly imprisoned the ideological and social development of the Central Plains.

This is a struggle between academic elites, just like religious wars, it is a life-and-death battle, either you or me.

Once started, there is no end or possibility of going back.

Burning the heretics, never a joke, is a fact that exists and has happened countless times.

In Zhu Yunxi's vision, the bookstore's newspapers are his weapons to compete for public opinion in the world.

Xie Jin's face gradually became serious.

The road to becoming a sage cannot be smooth sailing, nor can it be without enemies.

He is very clear that he nodded and agreed to this matter today, and as the core person to handle this matter, he has already erected countless enemies above the ruling and opposition parties.

Xie Jin said in a deep voice: "When you hear the Tao, you can die in the evening!"

Using a sage's words to explain himself, Xie Jin is already upright and proud.
